Part II- January 2020 Obs and Discussion

[IceKing]

Time to revise your model? Only off by about 36"!

Never said I'm giving up hope. Those 36 inches are coming... next year

[SouthHillFrosty]

How does the Monday night system look on the gfs for the south sound?

[The Swamp]

Officially snowing in Bonney Lake

 

not quite the right trajectory yet for the downtown swamp

 

still getting dry slotted

 

hoping it fills in a bit for an inch or two

 

that's all i need to be happy

[GHweatherChris]

I could care less about Wed/Thurs right now. The next 36 hours have a bunch of potential for over performance!!

[luvssnow_spokane]

It is called MyRadar. I have it on my phone and iPad... it also nicely shows wind direction and more. I love it!

[MossMan]

Temp down to 31.1 with occasional flurries.

[HighlandExperience]

Showers over the Kitsap peninsula trying to cross the Sound.

 

I see that. Frustrating seeing how slow it is moving south. Than there is that line of showers south of King County.

[Esquimalt]

Absolutely dumping down here in Victoria now, the temperature just dropped below freezing and the ground is turning white.

Snow started half an hour ago, already up to 0.8 inches! 

[FroYoBro]

As the great Tiger Woods once said “seasonably cool” 37 degrees out.

[MikeInEverett]

Temp down to 31.1 with occasional flurries.

How much did you end up with?

Overperformance? Down here too?

[GHweatherChris]

Overperformance? Down here too?

I don't live there. But, potential is always a possibility.

[MossMan]

How much did you end up with?

1.5”

 

Would love another 2”!

[Cloud]

Im drunk because of the Hawks lost so the model analysis will be shitty. But **** it... here’s to snow from Bellingham to furthest south of south of Oregon.

My wife tells me this all the time.. I just shrug.

A place we call...Wilsonville.

[MV_snow]

Here in the southern EPSL we either get screwed in the hole between the convergence zone and precipitation to our south, or the two areas of precip meet and... KABOOM! Unfortunately think the former is more likely.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

As the great Tiger Woods once said “seasonably cool” 37 degrees out.

 

Won't be much action until tomorrow PM down here. I think I'll head into work early and come home early to watch things develop.

[Cloud]

A place we call...Wilsonville.

WILSON!!!! ville.

[Requiem]

Aw man, GEM is basically skips the whole region. Then again it has been the most inconsistent with everything, so....trying to find some silver lining here people.

[MV_snow]

Any volunteers to take a helicopter up to the level of the clouds to the north of the convergence zone and try blowing it south? Radar is moving it south agonizingly slow.

Dry means COLD!!!

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Should be in seattle around 10pm

[wxmet]

Slowly moving is better especially when it's overhead. 

[Requiem]

Dry means COLD!!!

 

Not exactly dry....more like southerly flow for everyone.

[Jesse]

MOS guidance spitting out a high of 29 for PDX on Weds.

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Temp down to 31.1 with occasional flurries.

 

Down to 30F here now, was 34F about an hour ago.

[Deweydog]

Not exactly dry....more like southerly flow for everyone.

Even better!

 

A southerly flow per day keeps the drought away!

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

MOS guidance spitting out a high of 29 for PDX on Weds.

ECMWF says 77.

[Requiem]

Even better!

Hmm....I'd take a twenty-year drought for one more December 2008....just think it over...

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Snow started half an hour ago, already up to 0.8 inches! 

 

Similar here, you might end up with more than me given the heaviest stuff seems to be hanging south.

[wxmet]

ECMWF says 77.

So it will be 80

[Jesse]

ECMWF says 77.

Did you just use a ouija board to channel this message from Tim?

[The Swamp]

So it will be 80

If you factor in the +3!

[Jesse]

Not cool dude.

[Requiem]

Not cool dude.

 

Statement of desperation, not malice...

[Phil]

One concern I have on the NAM 12km is that is has a precip min in an area that is currently getting dumped on as shown on radar. It may be too far south with the precip. The 3km is doing a better job at capturing the convergence zone where it is currently, and shows another one developing later tonight but quickly dissipating after leaving Seattle.

The 3km NAM is far superior to the 12km version so that’s not surprising at all to me.

[seattleweatherguy]

bothell now in southern edge of conversion zone wish me luck

[luminen]

Snowing here at 28F. Not sure on accumulation but ~2-3" I'd say.

[Jesse]

Statement of desperation, not malice...

I like you, but you have to realize how silly it sounds when you are coming off 10x more desperate than everyone else considering you are probably in one of the best spots for sticking snow of any poster in the metro area.
